Clara is a reporter for the LA Daily News and believes great journalism is where storytelling meets truth-telling. Right now, Clara sees the story of Los Angeles as the story of its streets, where many people are forced to live and often die. She strives to tell this story by reporting on four intersecting crises: homelessness, housing, drug use and healthcare. When she's not writing you can find her hiking the Santa Monica Mountains, eating her way through LA's multicultural food scene or paddling out in pursuit of another glorious wave.
